Re: MMDVMHost - latest build? Missing 'SendFrameType'parameter

AhhHa and I thought that was a typo without the /modem!
I can easily change that but it sounds like I may need to start over again.
I listed my stuff in my first post.
C4Labs NSX
RPi4 v4.1.2
SHIM fan
MMDVM HS_DUAL HAT v1.3 fw v 1.4.17
Nextion 3.5" enhanced screen (connected directly to MMDVM board)
I chose MMDVM_HS_Dual_Hat for Pi (GPIO). Not sure what port I have been choosing may have been the default?
Back to the drawing board....

Yes, well that was a typo. My HAT fw is 1.4.17. I corrected it in the prior post.
Ok, then I am going to try to start it over again from scratch hopefully one last time.
Thanks again for all the your time and effort. Much appreciated. I'll keep you posted!

That did the trick! Wow, so simple!
So, it looks like the default port setting on the config page after loading PiStar 4.1.2 is /dev/ttyAMA0. If that is not manually changed to 'modem' it will screech the entire NextionDriver install! I may have just missed it, but I have been reading posts and even the readme install instructions on multiple sites including ON7LDS github and didn't see that little tidbit anywhere. That would have saved me and YOU lot's of time! LOL
Now on to complete my build and find the RIGHT screen!
Here's my install check....
Code: Select all
pi-star@pi-star(ro):tmp$ sudo NextionDriverInstaller/check_installation.sh
+ This seems to be Pi-Star
